Giantslayer: The Hill Giant's Pledge [IC]

[lostsole31]

It had been an eventful morning, and folks are at their stations except for Abenor, who tends to spend his time when not collecting the haul doing a variety of martial exercises or just looking out over the sterncastle to admire the view. The sun is drifting low to the WSW, which is nearly fully relative south to the ship - right behind it. Already, where the keelboat is to stop for the night is seen up ahead, and Galakhar and the boat's cook Gashnakh must be cooking up something good, as delicious smells waft everywhere a PC is located.

Surprise Round ...

S27: Abenor shouts out "Dragon!" in warning as he darts off the sterncastle, moving forward as he draws his bow, and shouting the warning again down into the hold as he heads amidships.

S19-13: Abenor gets hit by a ball of caustic acid, but was prepared and only takes 7 acid while not getting trapped in its stickiness. The crow's nest gets hit with a similar attack, but Cici and Lucette both use the crow's nest basket to fully protect themselves.

Begin Round One ....

R1T27: "Repel boarders! Three dragons amidships!" Abenor yells at the top of his lungs. Abenor shoots an arrow into the head of Red for 9.

R1T22: Cici feels that sometimes a voice is inadequate, so from her witch's pouch she takes a smal amber rod and casts a spell. A sharp, cracking report of thunder as heard as she sends a lightning bolt at the dragon at highest elevation that attacked her, lighting it up for 20 electricity, the first time she ever showed such power before. Still, she follows that up, "Repel boarders! Three dragons amidships moving forward quickly."

R1T21: Gharmez, you hear the sound of someone yelling something in the distance, followed by the same voice (Abenor's) having shouted "Dragon!" down the hole. More shouting on deck, and then it sounds like the sky itself has joined the battle. You had already been given permission (because of the last event) to leave your rowing station to tend to Repel Boarders! without wasting time asking permission. Then Cici's distance voice calls out Repel boarders as well. What do you do?
